[Verse 1]
I went to a party last night
What sick things I saw
Make-out sessions and bicycle messengers
Punks and art school dropouts

I ran into this guy I knew
But hadn't seen in years
We went into the neon kitchen
And stole a couple beers

[Pre-Chorus 1]
He said his girl had dumped him
But was there with another guy
He said that he still liked her

[Chorus 1]
All I could say was
"Why, why, oh why, oh why
Why is it always like this?
Either you're too mean or you're too nice."
He said, "I even cooked her breakfast."

[Verse 2]
So we went into the living room
Someone was blasting Zeppelin
It sounded good
I felt ashamed
I knew every drum fill
Anyway, there she sat
Totally kissing this guy
They looked good
I mean like in love
Then I remembered my friend
[Pre-Chorus 2]
He said, "How could you do this?
You said that you needed your space
He's wearing the shirt that I gave you."

[Chorus 2]
Then she said, "Why, why, oh why, oh why
Why are you always like this?
If I'm having fun then it's breaking your heart
Besides, you said I could have it."

Then the cops showed up
